"A Pillow of Winds" is the second track from Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle. The song is a soft acoustic piece, and rather uncharacteristically for a Pink Floyd song, the lyrics deal with love. Guitarist David Gilmour composed the track, and Roger Waters wrote the lyrics.
According to Nick Mason, the song's title originates from a possible hand in the game of Mahjong, which the band had become enamoured with while touring. Incidentally, the song is notable for its lack of drums.
